Ode to Gizmo

For Gizmo

It turns out
You don't really need
The patience of a Saint
To adopt a three-legged dog

Because even though Gizmo
Or Butch may need to lie down
Once in a while on their way
Around the block

There's altogether
Much less time expended
In their sniffing and dawdling
Than is customary among
All of the many varieties
Of four-legged dogs
